I am working on my conj talk proposal

ericnormand15:06:02

I'm trying to come up with the title and abstract

ericnormand15:06:16

I know what I'd like to teach, but this is the toughest part!

Everything I needed for Functional Programming I learned in High School Algebra Do you want to deepen your functional programming skills? Is there anything more than data transformation? In this talk, we will explore several functional programming concepts and techniques that can make your code more clean and parallelizable.

@alexmiller Any suggestions for improvement? ^^^

Alex Miller (Clojure team)15:06:07

title’s a little long, but seems ok for abstract. I would expect the “main ideas” section for reviewers to identify the concepts and techniques you plan to talk about

ericnormand16:06:43

would you like to review that, too?

All I needed for FP I learned in High School Algebra Are your tired of forgetting which keys go in which maps? Are your data transformation pipelines of trans-continental proportions? A smidgen of high school algebra may go a long way to eliminating your deeply nested headaches. In this talk, we will explore several functional programming concepts and techniques, lifted right out of high school algebra, that can deepen your functional programming skills and get you slicing your problems along new dimensions.
